Unit 5 What are the shirts made of 【B卷·培优卷】 一、阅读理解 Cosmetics（化妆品）are commonly used by women nowadays. But what did Chinese women use in ancient times? Over the past several years, Wang Yifan, 29, has restored（复原）more than 30 kinds of cosmetics and tools from different dynasties（朝代）. Wang has taken interest in the cosmetics since she was a child. The restoration process of cosmetics includes the following steps: making clear what the ingredients（成分）are, doing experiments（实验）, comparing the test results and correcting mistakes if there are any problems. In her eyes, every step is a challenge. But finding the right ingredients is the most difficult part. Sometimes, the same ingredient might have different names during different periods. Although the process is hard and takes plenty of time, Wang finds it worth the efforts. “Restoring cosmetics offers another way for people to learn Chinese history and know more about our nation,” Wang said. Wang Yifan is not the only one that takes actions to spread the Chinese culture. Wang Ping connects his job with it, too. Wang Ping became interested in making Chinese headdresses（头冠） in 2020. He uses different kinds of materials. Surprisingly, almost most of them are “waste” as they come from clothes that are not worn anymore. “I’m trying to make the headdresses in an environmentally friendly way.” Wang said. One of his most popular works is Chinese phoenix coronets（凤冠）which take from one week to up to a few months because it uses over 30 kinds of materials. The process of making one is a long journey, requiring careful check and putting every piece into the right position. So, would you like to learn about Chinese cultures through ancient cosmetics or pretty headdresses? 1．________ is the most difficult part during the process of restoration. A．Doing some experiments B．Finding the right ingredients C．Correcting some mistakes D．Comparing the results 2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．restoring cosmetics B．spreading Chinese culture C．taking action D．making Chinese headdresses 3．According to the passage, the quality（品质）most needed for the making process（过程）may be ________. A．kindness B．honesty C．patience D．humor 4．This passage mainly wants to tell us ________. A．we should turn the waste materials into something useful B．young people are full of creativity C．the world is paying attention to Chinese culture D．there are different ways to spread Chinese culture 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了王一帆和王平复原古代妇女的化妆品和头饰以了解中国文化的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“In her eyes, every step is a challenge. But finding the right ingredients is the most difficult part.”可知，在修复过程中，找到合适的成分是最困难的部分。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Wang Yifan is not the only one that takes actions to spread the Chinese culture.”可推断，王平把工作跟“传播中国文化”联系在一起，it指代“传播中国文化”。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“The process of making one is a long journey, requiring careful check and putting every piece into the right position.”可知，制作过程很漫长，需要仔细检查，并将每一块都放在正确的位置，由此推断，制作需要“耐心”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Wang Yifan is not the only one that takes actions to spread the Chinese culture…So, would you like to learn about Chinese cultures through ancient cosmetics or pretty headdresses?”和全文内容推断，本文通过王一帆、王平的事迹告诉读者传播中国文化有不同的方式。故选D。 In Western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck. In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t even have a 13th floor. However, there aren’t really any other numbers that are special in this way in the West. There are superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China as well. For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one small example of China’s obsession (迷恋) with numbers. When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. Because Chinese characters (文字) cannot be used for website addresses. They can only use numbers or the letters of the Roman alphabet. In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. So instead, they use their customer service hotline number —10010. com. This is easier to type and remember. In addition, the pronunciations (发音) of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This makes for some clever wordplay. For example, the numbers “5-2-0” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. Many couples choose to get married on May 20 for this reason. It is interesting to see how Chinese people have used numbers in so many different ways. “88” for now! 5．Which number do some people in Western countries think is unlucky? A．2. B．4. C．5. D．13. 6．What surprised the writer when he came to China? A．4 is an unlucky number in China. B．China regards 13 as an unlucky number. C．Some tall buildings don’t have a 13th floor in China. D．China uses numbers in website addresses. 7．What’s the website address of the telecom company China Unicom in the passage? A．Zhongguoliantong. com. B．TCCU. com. C．10010.com. D．TelecomChina. com. 8．Why do many couples in China choose to get married on May 20? A．Because the weather is usually good on that day. B．Because it always falls on a weekend. C．Because 5, 2 and 0 are all lucky numbers in China. D．Because its Chinese pronunciation is similar to “I love you”. 9．What’s the best title of this passage? A．China loves numbers B．The special numbers in West C．Lucky number in China D．Lucky number in Western countries 【答案】5．D 6．D 7．C 8．D 9．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国关于数字的迷信。 5．细节理解题。根据“In Western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck.”可知，在西方国家，13这个数字被认为是不吉利的，故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据“When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. ”可知，惊讶地发现许多网站的名称中都有数字而不是字母，故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据“So instead, they use their customer service hotline number —10010. com.”可知，中国联通的网站是10010.com，故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据“For example, the numbers ‘5-2-0’ in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase ‘I love you’.”可知，因为它的中文发音与“我爱你”相似，故选D。 9．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国关于数字的迷信，A选项能概括本文主题，故选A。 Nowadays many people look for fun online.

The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled objects. The guitars are boxes. A horn is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles. The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry—who was in eighth grade at the time—decided to make a playable, homemade guitar. After some trial-and-error, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade instruments as a way to promote recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin,” Jack, 17, told Time For Kids. “You can actually reuse materials.” Ollie, 16, plays drums made from trash cans. Evan Tucker, 16 (bass guitar); Harrison Paparatto, 16 (horns and violin); and Austin Siegel, 16 (keyboard), round out the band. See photos of their instruments at their website, thegarbagemen.com. Playing for good The Garbage-Men play at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer’s markets and other community events. Usually, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles music and crowd favorite Wipe Out by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack’s little brother Trent, 12, gives out flyers about recycling and helps sell the band’s CD． The band donates the money from sales, more than $4,000, to local charities. One organization in particular, Heifer International, gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development charity,” Jack says. “By donating one animal, you help an entire community.” The band tries to play a gig every week. They’ve also played on a Tampa, Fla., radio station and auditioned for America’s Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their show on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really accessible,” Jack says. Their instruments may be garbage, but their message isn’t. 15．Who first had the idea to organize the Garbage-Men band? A．Jack Berry B．Ollie Gray C．Evan Tucker D．Harrison Paparatto 16．What’s the purpose of the garbage-Men band? A．To promote recycling. B．To sell their CDs. C．To co-operate with the Beatles.

A．Five teens make music from garbage B．Heifer International, a charity becomes sustainable C．Recycling, a tip on how to protect the environment D．Donating animals, helping poor countries 【答案】15．B 16．A 17．D 18．C 19．A 【导语】本文讲了美国5个孩子利用可回收物制作乐器来组建乐队的故事。 15．细节理解题。由第三段可知，“Jack向他的朋友Ollie展示了他的创作后，Ollie萌生了使用其他自制乐器组建乐队的想法”故选B。 16．推理判断题。由第四段“We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin…You can actually reuse materials.”可知，孩子们想通过组建乐队告诉人们大家真的可以利用重复使用材料，由此可推断孩子们组建乐队的目的是为了“推进资源再利用”，故选A。 17．细节理解题。由全文最后一段“The teens hope to eventually take their show on the road by touring in other states.”可知，“孩子们希望最终能通过在其他州巡回演出来进行演出。”，故选D。 18．猜测词义题。结合全文，以及后文“他们还在电台和美国达人秀”可知，他们每周会试图进行一场“演出”，故选C。 19．最佳标题题。本文讲了美国5个孩子利用可回收物制作乐器来组建乐队的故事，以此来唤起人们的环保意识，故选A。 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（选项中有一项为多余选项。） Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations.

But what did Chinese women use in ancient times? Over the past several years, Wang Yifan, 29, has restored（复原）more than 30 kinds of cosmetics and tools from different dynasties（朝代）. Wang has taken interest in the cosmetics since she was a child. The restoration process of cosmetics includes the following steps: making clear what the ingredients（成分）are, doing experiments（实验）, comparing the test results and correcting mistakes if there are any problems. In her eyes, every step is a challenge. But finding the right ingredients is the most difficult part. Sometimes, the same ingredient might have different names during different periods. Although the process is hard and takes plenty of time, Wang finds it worth the efforts. “Restoring cosmetics offers another way for people to learn Chinese history and know more about our nation,” Wang said. Wang Yifan is not the only one that takes actions to spread the Chinese culture. Wang Ping connects his job with it, too. Wang Ping became interested in making Chinese headdresses（头冠） in 2020. He uses different kinds of materials. Surprisingly, almost most of them are “waste” as they come from clothes that are not worn anymore. “I’m trying to make the headdresses in an environmentally friendly way.” Wang said. One of his most popular works is Chinese phoenix coronets（凤冠）which take from one week to up to a few months because it uses over 30 kinds of materials. The process of making one is a long journey, requiring careful check and putting every piece into the right position. So, would you like to learn about Chinese cultures through ancient cosmetics or pretty headdresses? 1．________ is the most difficult part during the process of restoration. A．Doing some experiments B．Finding the right ingredients C．Correcting some mistakes D．Comparing the results 2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．restoring cosmetics B．spreading Chinese culture C．taking action D．making Chinese headdresses 3．According to the passage, the quality（品质）most needed for the making process（过程）may be ________. A．kindness B．honesty C．patience D．humor 4．This passage mainly wants to tell us ________. A．we should turn the waste materials into something useful B．young people are full of creativity C．the world is paying attention to Chinese culture D．there are different ways to spread Chinese culture In Western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck. In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t even have a 13th floor. However, there aren’t really any other numbers that are special in this way in the West. There are superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China as well. For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one small example of China’s obsession (迷恋) with numbers. When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. Because Chinese characters (文字) cannot be used for website addresses. They can only use numbers or the letters of the Roman alphabet. In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. So instead, they use their customer service hotline number —10010. com. This is easier to type and remember. In addition, the pronunciations (发音) of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This makes for some clever wordplay. For example, the numbers “5-2-0” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. Many couples choose to get married on May 20 for this reason. It is interesting to see how Chinese people have used numbers in so many different ways. “88” for now! 5．Which number do some people in Western countries think is unlucky? A．2. B．4. C．5. D．13. 6．What surprised the writer when he came to China? A．4 is an unlucky number in China. B．China regards 13 as an unlucky number. C．Some tall buildings don’t have a 13th floor in China. D．China uses numbers in website addresses. 7．What’s the website address of the telecom company China Unicom in the passage? A．Zhongguoliantong. com. B．TCCU. com. C．10010.com. D．TelecomChina. com. 8．Why do many couples in China choose to get married on May 20? A．Because the weather is usually good on that day. B．Because it always falls on a weekend. C．Because 5, 2 and 0 are all lucky numbers in China. D．Because its Chinese pronunciation is similar to “I love you”. 9．What’s the best title of this passage? A．China loves numbers B．The special numbers in West C．Lucky number in China D．Lucky number in Western countries Nowadays many people look for fun online.

On March 26th, 2020, Bilibili livestreamed a huafu show on the third China Huafu Day Performers showed clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties.

The guitars are boxes. A horn is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles. The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry—who was in eighth grade at the time—decided to make a playable, homemade guitar. After some trial-and-error, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade instruments as a way to promote recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin,” Jack, 17, told Time For Kids. “You can actually reuse materials.” Ollie, 16, plays drums made from trash cans. Evan Tucker, 16 (bass guitar); Harrison Paparatto, 16 (horns and violin); and Austin Siegel, 16 (keyboard), round out the band. See photos of their instruments at their website, thegarbagemen.com. Playing for good The Garbage-Men play at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer’s markets and other community events. Usually, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles music and crowd favorite Wipe Out by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack’s little brother Trent, 12, gives out flyers about recycling and helps sell the band’s CD． The band donates the money from sales, more than $4,000, to local charities. One organization in particular, Heifer International, gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development charity,” Jack says. “By donating one animal, you help an entire community.” The band tries to play a gig every week. They’ve also played on a Tampa, Fla., radio station and auditioned for America’s Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their show on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really accessible,” Jack says. Their instruments may be garbage, but their message isn’t. 15．Who first had the idea to organize the Garbage-Men band?
